How to Make Chili Dogs

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese cuts calories while still providing creaminess.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: banana peppers

💰Cheaper: green bell peppers

Banana peppers provide a milder flavor at a lower cost.

hot dog buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: regular bread

Whole grain buns offer more fiber, while regular bread is often less expensive.

Cook the ground beef in a pan until browned.

Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced green bell pepper to the pan and sauté until softened.

Stir in the tomato puree, beef stock cube, chili flakes, oregano, salt, and black pepper; simmer to combine flavors.

Prepare the hot dogs by grilling or boiling them as preferred.

Butter the hot dog buns and toast them lightly.

Assemble the chili dogs by placing a hot dog in each bun, topping with the chili mixture, and adding cheese slices.
